Evidence-Informed Approaches for Online Support

Sandra West draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) and Attachment-Based Therapy to guide online work. ACT focuses on helping people notice difficult thoughts and feelings without being driven by them, then take committed steps toward what matters most - it is often used for anxiety, depression, and navigating life changes. Attachment-Based Therapy explores early and current relationship patterns to improve connection and emotional regulation, making it useful for relationship struggles, intimacy-related issues, and attachment concerns.

Choosing the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Sandra will collaborate with each person to determine which methods best match their needs, goals, and preferences, adjusting strategies over time so work remains practical and relevant.

Online sessions - including video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging - offer flexibility for people balancing work, family, and other commitments. These formats make it easier to access support from licensed professionals in a way that fits one’s schedule and comfort level, while still allowing meaningful therapeutic progress and skill-building.
